Hair and body moisturizers that deliver actual water-based hydration, not the silicone slip that most commercial moisturizers mistake for moisture. Natural hair is chronically under-moisturized because the tight coil pattern prevents sebum from traveling down the shaft the way it does on straight hair, so these moisturizers compensate by delivering humectants and conditioning agents directly into the strand.
For low-porosity hair, use heat-activated, water-based sprays applied on hot, steamy shower-damp hair for open cuticle absorption. For normal porosity, balanced cream moisturizers work well applied on damp hair after wash day and every two to three days between washes. For high-porosity hair, protein-fortified cream moisturizers applied daily, followed immediately with a heavy sealant, prevent rapid moisture loss.
Re-moisturize whenever hair feels dry to the touch, not on a fixed schedule.
